Tagua, a plant alternative to ivory, comes from a plant that grows in the rainforests of South America. It is a large, hard nut that can be cut, shaped and sculpted. This sterling silver pendant depicts the Om symbol carved out of Tagua nut. Om is believed to be the sound of life, present as a vibration in all living beings and in nature. It is also believed that Om was the sound that was produced when this universe was created. Om as a sound with mystical properties is not specific to any country, civilization or religion. It is a universal sound that has been used in many faiths, adapted to suit the spiritual practices of a particular group.

Handmade: Organic variations, and natural spotting on the Tagua may be present enhaning individual artistic character.
